The Eastern part of Iceland is an area which is more minted by the nature than by cities. With that
also Hotels in the Eastern part of Iceland are rather rare. However you can find them, for example in villages like Djupivogur. This village directly at the Sea has a beautiful small harbor and has even been earlier an important trade spot.
Some also likes it more to stay at a farm and to familiarize himself really with the people of Eastern Iceland. To experience the friendliness close by is also an extremely beautiful experience. Human and animal living together friendly this is possible on a farm in Eastern Iceland.
